Gunmen burn civilians alive in SudanKhartoum - Gunmen on horseback attacked a truck carrying medicine and
aid in Sudan's war-ravaged Darfur region and killed around 30 civilians
on board, some of whom were burned alive, the United Nations said on
Sunday.

The African Union had earlier put the death toll at 22 and said 10
others were wounded on Saturday when gunmen attacked the vehicle near
Sirba, 45km north of El Geneina, capital of West Darfur state and close
to the Sudan-Chad border.

"The gunmen were riding on horseback. The exact number of civilian
casualties is not yet established but it is estimated that around 30
people were killed," UN spokesperson in Sudan Radhia Achouri said on
Sunday.

In a farewell speech on U.S. soil today, retiring United Nations
Secretary-General Kofi Annan plans to deliver a tough critique of
President Bush's policies. He will accuse the administration of
trying to secure the United States from terrorism in part by
dominating other nations through force, committing what he termed
human rights abuses and taking military action without broad
international support.

Though Annan has long been a critic of the war in Iraq and other
Bush foreign policies, the planned speech is among his toughest and
is unusual for a U.N. secretary-general concluding his tenure.

He ought to be exiled to Africa where his African brothers would tear him limb from limb, this evil poser.
